===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: Throw me something mister. If u've never been to a mardi gras u wouldn't understand that. ===== From elvish_archer@mailcity.com: well I guess this is a contrast picture ( coz of the colorful)or perhaps I must tune the contrast button on the monitor ===== From hgregory3@aol.com: Technical - Nice Coral! ===== From steve@neurotrain.com: A 20 T 20 C 1 A beautiful picture Excellent technical work - the "floaties" in the background in the water are perfect. The concept does not even whisper contrast to me - the colours are not contrasting, the polyps are all pretty much the same size. And I saw no description to allude to the relation to the topic. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: This is one of my favorite images in the competition. Completely original. Not a technical representation of the real world, but rather a truly artistic study in light and color. ===== From hfventer@ing.sun.ac.za: Contrast between the dead coral sceleton and the living polyp I guess. Very well done. ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: Contrast? Where? ===== From file: Notable for originality, textures, modelling
